Pimple on private area

I have a bump on my vagina area and my doctor told me it looked like a pimple. Has anyone else had one of these? It has a black spot on the end like a black head. Does hot compresses get rid of it? I can't pinch it. I'm thinking of going to a obgyn but I'd like to try something else if I can.
Thanks for any help.

On a rare occasion yes I do get them......nasty little buggers aren't they?

I wouldn't pop it as it would be more prone to an infection..etc...seems to me they usually take a week to 10 days to clear up...other than keeping the area clean I really don't know what else to do...
